Old Gringo Bar and Restaurant

Fun and relaxed atmosphere! The beef enchiladas and chicken tacos were awesome and the pulled pork with distinct BBQ sauce was incredible. Incomparable service from Alexis who is all hustle and fun! She was tending bar and waiting tables and never got behind nor quit smiling! Alexis is a great asset to this small town hang out.

I cannot recommend this place enough. I stayed here in October of '22, and the staff and service were as good as one could hope.

If you are taking a trip to Big Bend on a motorcycle, this is the place to stay.

Excellent service. We were greeted right away and seated (didn’t realize it was self seat as we came in a different door). Peach mixed drink is delicious and the salsa is SO good. Too spicy for hubby but just right to me with really good flavor for both. Cool vibe with live music in the evenings. Really filling and delicious fishy bowl with tilapia, beans and rice.

We went to see the Caleb Wilbourn show and loved everything we ate! The servers were superstars.
The real bonus to this place is the hotel rooms, upstairs! They are very nice. The place is spotless and everything is very modern and fresh. I'll 100% stay here, again. That it's walking distance to all of the local late bars and shops makes it a good choice.
They have legit indoor motorcycle parking. NOBODY has that, around here. Not in this county or the next. A+

After asking the locals, we were told this was the only place open that was not fast food. I'm so glad they recommended it. Great environment, very open and airy. The staff was great and the owner was checking on everyone to make sure they were taken care of.

We ordered some nachos and a couple of beers. The food came out fast and was good.

Great food and great atmosphere! Try the enchiladas or sliders! For that “holy cow I would have never expected that!” experience Try the Sheriff Dodson! You’ve never had a bologna sandwich like this before!

A great find. Was very busy, but we weren't in a hurry. Planned to visit with family until a pushy man came in and wanted our table since we had just finished eating. Food was great! Love the menu humor.

Sliders and Mexican Coffee are to die for. Atmosphere is eclectic and fun. Don't miss this gem of a place!!

Really cool little spot, service was awesome. Food is good, salsa is on point.

Stopped by after hiking Big Bend and had a great experience. Drinks were affordable. Vibes were immaculate. The huge deer on the wall was pretty dope and impressive. Also the cute bartender with the cross earrings gave us better service than we ever get in Virginia. I don’t know if that’s a Texas thing or if Virginia just sucks in comparison, but either way this bar absolutely slaps.

This place is so laid back and chill! Their live music is amazing!! The food is AMAZING!!! the service is truly amazing some of the best I have EVER had!! The owners are usually there too. These owners are some of the most legit owners I think I have ever known! We spent 4 nights at the hotel above the restaurant...and by the time we left we were hugging the owners bye! It was as if we were leaving a family reunion! This is a place you MUST stop in and try! Drinks are amazing! Staff is phenomenal. And the vibe is out of this world! Tell them Melissa and Tim said hello!!

Best taco's I've ever had. Cool place too.

It was a warm and friendly atmosphere with a live band. Nothing like a cold drink and hot Mexican food after a long day in the saddle. Salsa platter with corn chips and beefy enchiladas. Good food, friendly service, it's hard to beat.

Looked for a lunch place in Alpine. This place worked out great. Right on the main street. Had tacos and chips and guac. Everything was good. Service was great and personal. Walked around and saw some of the building murals, which Alpine is known for.

Great Mexican food and friendly employees also a band playing music

The food was excellent. I highly recommended the stupid crazy nachos with pork. They were very busy because of spring break but the “ bottle boy” Juston was awesome. He went out of his way to help us and make sure our visit was great. By the way he does so much more than just a bottle boy. He needs a promotion or at least a raise lol.

First time in Alpine. We stopped in for lunch (we were a party of 7). I feel like the time we waited was normal as we ordered a lot of food & cocktails. Our waitress was a sweetheart, but I didn’t catch her name. She had pretty nails and told us about her kids. We were all shocked at the fact that she had a teenager because she looked about 18 herself. Any how, the food was delicious. I had split the beef nachos with my partner, ate a grilled cheese, had a simple side salad with guacamole on the side. The thing that blew me away was the cocktail that tasted like liquid pecan pie. I think it was called Texas Honey. I don’t do cocktails, but I could sip that every night. We didn’t come on the day they had a live band so the place was quiet and relaxing. I will be back for that pecan whiskey cocktail!

Since new ownership has taken over, it is a great place to go hang out, eat good food, and have a cold drink. The grilled chicken salad was amazing!Would recommend this place!

I loved the vibes in here. They had live music and the staff was very friendly. Bartender was awesome too! I got my food to go and it was delicious

This place is an absolute gem. The staff are friendly. The food is amazing. And the drinks ... Refreshing and delicious! I found a new favorite in their Texas Tea. Be warned it is sweet. But it was as I said. Refreshing and delicious.
I will definitely be back. Even if just for the Texas Tea.
